Knuckleball pitcher Eddie Gamboa added a cutter to the mix during his Sunday start for the Rangers. If he can continue to repeat Sunday’s outing — two unearned runs on five hits and a walk with six strikeouts over five innings — he’ll find himself on the Rangers’ Opening Day roster.
3 Earned runs allowed by knuckleballer Eddie Gamboa in 13 spring innings. He’s allowed 19 hits, four walks and struck out 12.
“That’s the style I’ll probably go with not just using the fastball and knuckleball,” Gamboa said. “I introduced my cutter a lot more and it got me out of a couple of jams and into some good counts.
